Based on a questionnaire for patient-queries regarding pain-sensation and activity restrictions during everyday tasks, the long-term effect of MBST® nuclear magnetic resonance therapy is studied in osteoarthritis of the knee. 39 patients, whose therapy dates back up to four years, participated in the study. In addition to an overall view, the success of this therapy is also analyzed regarding age, gender and physical activities. Overall, the study pointed out a sustained improvement in the patients’ local health-status with a significant pain-relief even after four years, but also with a slight increase in pain towards the end of that four-year period. There tends to be a more positive effect on women, on elderly or also on even non-sports-active patients which suggests a possible influence by daily (over)-stressing on the success of the therapy on bone density is also conceivable, however this remains open.
